I don’t know what might have set it off, or if I’m over thinking it, but I’ve been feeling anxious for months. Literal months, on end, where every day is spent feeling anxious. Not 24/7, I get “distracted” by class, or conversations, but then I’ll be hit by anxiety later. Even at work, I just get nervous all of a sudden. People say things like “thank you” or as for something, (I work at a restaurant) and I start to shrink and feel anxious, even though I know I haven’t done anything wrong. When I go home, it’s even worse, because I have a chance to turn everything over and feel anxious about everything I DIDN’T feel anxious about before, ie.if I did something wrong during the conversations throughout the day. Or I’ll be sitting there, and suddenly have a burst of fear or worry, and I don’t know why.
It wasn’t a problem at first, I’m not sure it even qualifies as a problem now, but it’s exhausting after months of it, especially since it isn’t leading up to anything that would explain it, like a speech or test or something. I don’t want to self diagnose anxiety, that seems too hasty, but has anyone else experienced this type of thing, or have tips or tricks to help?
